Springwood Mazda: Celebrating 20 years of Growth and Change

Posted: 20/01/2023

This year marks the 20th anniversary of Springwood Mazda, a family-owned and operated dealership that has seen plenty of changes since we officially opened the doors way back in 2003 to the Mazda Showroom.

The dealership underwent a significant transformation in 2021, with a major redevelopment of the showroom and a name change from Oldmac Mazda to Springwood Mazda. Throughout all of these changes however, one thing has remained the same — the commitment of the Oldham family to both their staff and their community.

Let’s take a look at how Oldmac Mazda came to be, and what we can expect from Springwood Mazda today and in the future.

Where we’ve come from

Springwood Mazda has, over the last 20 year, been a key player in Brisbane’s motoring industry.

This year marks the company’s 20th anniversary, a milestone that showcases the success we have achieved over the years and reflects two decades of growth and change.

The story of Springwood Mazda begins with our founder and managing director, Graham Oldham.

Graham entered the motoring industry many years before opening the doors to Oldmac Mazda in 2001 — originally operating out of a tin shed and with only one staff member!

It wasn’t long before Oldmac Mazda started to grow. In 2003, we officially opened our new, state-of-the-art Mazda showroom. From here, Oldmac continued to grow and expand its presence with more locations and workshops throughout Brisbane.

In 2021, the business took another major leap forward, with the redevelopment of our showroom and rebranding to Springwood Mazda. As part of this extensive project, we have also added an additional Service Centre at Tolmer Street, Springwood, offering more customer parking facilities, more comfortable waiting areas plus fitting out all the sales staff offices with the latest technology.  

Springwood Mazda in the community

Graham Oldham has always been dedicated to providing local employment in the surrounding areas when he started his business, and this commitment continues.

In collaboration with Springwood State High School, Graham offered programs that assisted the next generation with an introduction to the motoring industry, with a number of these students being offered full traineeships with Oldmac Mazda when the original showroom was opened.

This commitment to our local community reflects the family-owned nature of business and remains a pillar of everything we do here at Springwood.

Looking towards the future

Springwood Mazda has come a long way in the last two decades; from small beginnings to cementing its place as one of Brisbane’s premier family-owned and operated car dealerships.

For the past 20 years, our unwavering commitment to customer service and offering the highest-quality vehicles have enabled us to grow into an industry leader, helping countless customers with their Mazda journey.

As the dealership grows, we are thrilled to announce that Springwood Mazda has been awarded the 2022 Mazda Master Dealer Excellence Award!  This prestigious award recognizes our dealership for exceptional performance in customer satisfaction, sales and service. We are so grateful for the support of our customers and look forward to continuing to provide the best possible service and support to our valued customers.

We look towards what’s next for Springwood Mazda, there’s no doubt that there’s more success ahead, as we continue with the same commitment to our customers and quality.

Bring on the next 20 plus years!
